CAPE TURTLE DOVE, MARIEVALE BIRD SANCTUARY, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA

   Even though we can see only the back of this dove, we can ID it as a Cape Turtle Dove by its size (it was larger than the Laughing Gull of the previous post), white tip on the tail and black collar on back of neck.

   The Cape Turtle Dove is a new species to our Life List, which now stands at 335.
